Description
Agency: ILO | Reference: rfx_8172_ROAP | Type: Call for individual consultants
Dear Bidder,
The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External International Collaborator.
Below is a summary of the work to be performed: The International Labour Organization (ILO) is supporting labour governance in specialized economic zones through the Advancing Decent Work in Bangladesh Project.
Bangladesh promotes industrial and economic growth through several specialized zones—Export Processing Zones (EPZs), Economic Zones (EZs), Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and Hi-Tech Parks.
While these zones share the objective of attracting investment and generating employment, they operate under different legal and regulatory frameworks and are administered by separate semi-autonomous authorities.
To align governance in specialized zones with international labour standards, the ILO seeks an international consultant to lead the methodological design and comparative analysis of global IPZ practices.
The consultant will work with a national counterpart to develop an analytical brief, reviewing international frameworks, analyzing national data, and providing recommendations.
Deliverables include an inception report, stakeholder consultation plan, draft and final brief, and a consultation report, all aimed at strengthening labour administration and promoting decent work in specialized economic zones with a focus on EPZs.
If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform.
Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline.
Thank you.
